This issue is actually some well deserved down time for our team of mystic misfits. But that doesn't mean that life is any easier for them. As chronicled this issue by the Phantom Stranger, there are forces assembling that are going to try to take them down. And they don't all come from obvious places. First of all we have KarnEvil, who is escaping from the NightShade dimension. This kid is truly twisted. He's got no powers. But, he's a sociopath without remorse or conscious. "He has no psychological filters, no restraints . . . nothing that tells him not to do all of the bloody things that come so often to his mind." And now he's back in our world. Meanwhile Doctor Gotham has found a way to bring the smallest of essences into our world. Unfortunately it's the essence of the Sun King. He's only the size of a candle-flame now. But Doctor Gotham plans on feeding him, to become much more. Also it looks as if Zauriel is going to be brought to bear against them. It seems that the heavenly host are unhappy with Blue Devils decisions, and his recent ascension, or should I say descent, in hell. They don't like the popularity or influence that he could have over the world. So they want Zauriel to smite him. Also there's a couple of other things going on over in the NightShade dimension. And it appears that some old man in Illinois, " . . . knows a few terrible words that can make him a destroyer." So even though our team is off this issue. It doesn't seem as if they're going to get to much rest in the future. Cool!
